It's not all "media" but I usually send the following links to people  
after I mention ruby and they don't know anything about it.  Might  
help you too:

About page, from the source: (a little dry, but it's all there)
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020101.html

This presentation sums up a lot of Ruby concepts (whether or not you  
know Java):
http://onestepback.org/articles/10things/

Rails, the web framework that helped bring Ruby to light (The  
screencasts under "get excited" are pretty impressive):
http://www.rubyonrails.org/

One of the early Rails article/tutorials:
